We were thrilled to have MD/PhD student @DrewAdler4 from @nyuschoolofmed visit MPFI as our first NeuroMEETS speaker this spring! He shared his exciting work on the microglial regulation of neuronal metabolism and mRNA translation.

So happy for @Mauricio_Neuro, whose paper was published over the weekend. He shows how eIF2alpha becomes dephosphorylated in response to neuronal stimulation, answering a long-standing question in the field. https://t.co/B8w9chSpDE. Congratulations Mauricio!
Thrilled to share our paper "An exhausted-like microglial population accumulates in aged and APOE4 genotype Alzheimer’s brains" , out now in @ImmunityCP ! Thread below by the super @AlonMillet !
I was only privy to the excellence of Skirball for a few short months, but they remain some of my most inspiring. To me its closing only revitalizes the push for fundamental, as opposed to disease-oriented, discovery. https://t.co/rMD4lJ1Z8g.
An unceremonious end to a terrible policy. On a day filled with horrific news this will be overshadowed. But it’s worth reflecting on the many academic careers buried by the fallout of Trump-era xenophobia, including that of a mentor near and dear to me. https://t.co/jYCIQNOXFM
@EricTopol Coronaviruses are non-segmented last time I checked. Maybe this is semantics, but I'm pretty sure a virus needs segments in order to undergo antigenic shift...
